A major producer of uranium ore in India has mooted a proposal for setting up a 1,000-mw nuclear power plant in East Singhbhum District of northeast India's Jharkhand Pradesh.

The Press Trust of India cited Chief Minister Arjun Munda of Jharkhand as saying that the estimated cost of the plant is about 1,024 million US dollars and the proposal has been placed before the central government for approval.

Munda said he had a discussion with the Prime Minister in this regard recently and also met senior officials of the Hyderabad-based nuclear fuel complex.

Claiming that Indian Union Government has already assured Jharkhand of setting up a uranium processing project in the East Singhbhum District at a cost of 77 million dollars, Munda said that he would be visiting the nuclear fuel complex to gather further information about its functioning.

The central government reportedly would soon send a team of experts to Jharkhand to conduct a survey in this regard.
